Dear all,
I have quite a number / variety of documents (domain linguistic and
engineering) created with LyX 2.1 and Mageia5 / KDE.
It may take some time till Mageia comes along with newer versions of
LyX, Latex (this is by no means a negative statement; Mageia is just
late but great!) and I decided to use and develop my existing documents
in openSUSE Leap 4.2.2, KDE.
I now have: LyX 2.2.1-2.9 / Kbibtex 0.6-2.6 / the modules csquotes,
fixme, todonotes and LaTeX are stamped 2015.104
Transformation of most of my old documents went seamless while some
needed minor adjustments that I could do myself as somebody without any
programming knowledge.
However, my theses made with Lyx 2.1 / classicthesis-v4.1 and now used
with LyX 2.2.1 / classicthesis-v4.2 refuse to export to PDF. They start
an endless loop. In the Lyx Documents I cannot see anything nothing
wrong; trees in ERT, glosses are there, though the latter look somewhat
different. I get no error messages at all.
This behavior is identical of both,
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_biber and
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_bibtex8
I started several attempts to copy the contents of the old child
documents into the new child documents but this is slave work and I came
to conclude that I might as well rewrite the whole thing from scratch
and let everything be as is until Mageia is up to higher versions.
But the big question remains whether or not problems like this will
then be gone!?
After all, is it not Miede's classicthesis that ought to be accordingly
adjusted to work with latest versions of LyX and LateX?
Any comment is highly appreciated, ideally would be a recipe for making
my old classicthesis files work with classicthesis-v4.2 and compile in
Lyx 2.2.x :-D
Cheers and thanks for your continuing support,
Michael
